Aromatic Woman
Tatiana Cheremnykh
The modern woman today is not only a good-looking woman, but also a great mother, successful businesswoman, and absolutely incredible wife. You can also add to this list a great daughter, sister, sister-in-law, and the list keep going.
Instagram is also painting a picture of a perfect woman, who sometimes does not even
look like one, stating not verbally that YOU, who is looking at these photos, are simply
not good enough. We are losing the reality of this life by watching all of this disturbing
content, getting low self-esteem and depression at the end.
We might have won the right to freedom and choice, but OUR PRIZE BECAME EXTRA WORK.
I do not think that Cleopatra or Helen of Troy did to them what modern women are doing – plastic surgeries, harsh cosmetology manipulations, permanent make-up, regular make-up, and skincare products containing hundreds of toxic ingredients penetrating skin and body. These women never had the gifts of 21 century, but history remembered them as the most beautiful.
If Helen of Troy acquired her beauty from a formula given to her by Venus, Cleopatra used the essential oils to impress herself upon the hearts of Caesar and Mark Antony. With the purple sails of her royal barge soaked in rose water, Cleopatra’s arrival was heralded by a sweet smell on the breeze long before her lovers could see the barge sailing. She knew how to make an herbal tea that would help women not to conceive.
WHO IS THE AROMATIC WOMAN & HOW CAN YOU BECOME ONE?
The Aromatic woman is getting back in harmony with nature, and we are actually luckier than Cleopatra because we have so many essential oils available to us just through several clicks on the Internet. The Aromatic woman radiates well-being and self-confidence. She looks fabulous and feels as if she could do anything!
Our knowledge has grown through the millennia with experience. With this incredibly rich variety of oils and formulas used in many different ways, it’s just a matter of experimenting until you find the oils and methods of use that work BEST FOR YOU!
HERE, I WOULD LIKE TO OUTLINE MY ABSOLUTE TOP THREE OILS THAT EVERY WOMAN SHOULD TRY.
JASMINE (Jasminum grandiflorum L.)
Jasmine has been used since ancient times in rituals, ceremonies, baths, and teas. The flower has been used as an adornment for hair. This florally scented oil has found its way into many popular fragrances, including Patou’s Joy, Yves Saint Laurent’s Rive Gauche, and Dior’s Diorella.

Complementary combinations:
Jasmine (Jasminum grandiflorum L.) + Clary Sage (Salvia sclarea) helps with hormonal
reproductive restorative, spasmolytic, analgesic for hormonal imbalance with frigidity,
PMS, dysmenorrhoea, amenorrhoea.
In folklore, CLARY SAGE (Salvia sclarea) is called “clear eye”. Clary sage is absolutely
beautiful oil that is able to help with psychological problems: depression, phobia, panic
attacks, hypomania.

GERANIUM. All Geranium oils, regardless of origin, are produced from the following two main hybrid species: Pelargonium x asperum & Pelargonium x graveolens.
Geranium is said to bring the blessing of friendship and good relationships. Offering a variety of colours, scents, and leaf patterns, geranium has been a favourite in American
gardens for more than 200 years. Place potted geranium outside the front door of your home to welcome in good energy and detract negativity.
